future of ocfs2

At the company where I'm working right now, I'm part of an architecture
effort to come up with our standard design for RAC on Linux across the
firm. There will be dozens or possibly hundreds of deployments globally
using the design we settle on.

We're internally debating whether or not we should include OCFS2 in this
design right now, and I'm curious if anyone has arguments one way or the
other to share. Our standard design on Solaris does utilize a cluster
filesystem and we would welcome a similar design, but there are some
concerns about the readiness, stability and future of OCFS2.

OCFS2 is being considered for these four use cases:
- database binaries (vs local files or NFS)

diag top (11g) or admin tree (10g) (vs local files or NFS)

archived logs

backups

Other files will be stored in ASM.

I have seen mention in blogs such as
http://bigdaveroberts.wordpress.com/ of something called ASMFS in 11gR2
and I'm wondering - will this feature (if included) have any impact on
Oracle's commitment to OCFS2 development? Could Oracle conceivably
develop a whole new cluster filesystem and put their full weight behind
it as they did for ASM storage, leaving OCFS2 as a lower priority for
new features and improvements? Has Oracle demonstrated significant
commitment to OCFS2 development and support in the past, and is this a
mature enough technology for wide-scale deployment?
